There was Board discussion with differing opinions concerning the noted $2.5 million and how the money should be used. Superintendent Van Zant referred to a January 21, 2016, email sent to the School Board from Dr. Susan Legutko in which she explained the 3rd calculation and a potential increase in revenue.
